Kentucky/Tennessee Border Battle: Event Info and Rosters
October 19, 2017
The second annual PBR Kentucky/Tennessee Border Battle is set for this weekend at Western Kentucky University and will feature the top uncommitted Class of 2019, 2020, and a few 2021’s from both states. Last year’s event has seen 37 players commit to Division I schools, with 12 additional commitments in the D2, D3, NAIA, and junior college ranks. We expect this year’s event to rival the inaugural event held last October.
New to the event this year is the inclusion of a handful of top uncommitted seniors from each state. The position players will go through the pregame workout with the Class of 2019 players, and then play their own three-inning game to kick off the action on Saturday. Position players will get three AB’s against the uncommitted 2018 pitchers selected to attend.
Players need to bring their normal baseball equipment to the event. A numbered Adidas jersey will be provided when you check in.
